[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]When I was a kid Halloween was one day only: a party at school, then TOTing in the neighborhood with our parent/siblings. Past 4th grade-ish maybe being allowed to go alone with friends from the neighborhood. The only “decor” was pumpkins. A couple of Halloween-loving homes would do more.

By the time Halloween rolls around, everyone seems sick of Halloween already and has attended multiple parties, Trunk or Treats etc.

Big TOTing groups/parties were not a thing. It wasn’t really a big social event- definitely not for parents. The parents just walked with us to supervise and that was it. [/quote]
Same with Christmas. It’s sad. Everyone starts so early that by the time Christmas Day rolls around everyone is tired of it and ready to take the tree down. Christmas Day is the 1st day in the 12 days of Christmas. [/quote]

Agree - we try to wait to put up Christmas decor and instead focus on Advent, but it feels so out of sync with the rest of the community.

And I LOVE Halloween, but it’s just one day (heck, one evening). The trend toward “spooky season” that seems to start after Labor Day is absurd.[/quote]
